bln palao abogadosparticipates as a sponsor in the I International Congress UNIE University "New Challenges for Legal Defence and Security"

bln palao abogados had the honor of participating as a sponsor and speaker at the first International Congress UNIE University, entitled "New Challenges for Legal Defence and Security". This event, which brought together leaders and experts in the sector, addressed the most pressing challenges related to the legal reality in the fields of defence and security.

Our firm actively contributed to the panel discussion on the control of exports of defence equipment and dual-use, where was discussed in a concrete way the current problems faced by the companies in the defense sector in their foreign trade operations. Offered guidance on how to proceed when you get a decision of a negative nature which precludes the proposed operation, and analyzed the situation and regulations in the rest of the Member States of the EU in relation to exports of strategic materials.

In addition to this analysis, we explored the action of regulatory compliance necessary to ensure the security and integrity of the international transactions, highlighting the best practices to prevent the evasion of sanctions and to ensure accountability in the trade of sensitive materials.

The congress also provided a space to discuss other key areas of the sector, such as:

• Arbitration as a mechanism for the resolution of disputes in the field of defense.
• Cyber security and legal challenges associated with the protection of sensitive information.
• The regulation of private and foreign investment in the defense industry.
• The analysis of the industrial property rights and their relevance in the military industry.
